What is looking... is dedicated to helping people through the process of seeing through the illusion of self. This is a classic criteria for awakening.
We go through a brief and highly directed pointing to the 'Gateless Gate' before seeing that there is no separate self. If this is what you want, we invite you to enter the same process. There is now an international network of people working through internet and social media, some resources are linked here.

I do not give a shit.
In the middle of a rant or a right snit, it all breaks down and there is nothing to care about.
Bit disconcerting.
Er, didn't I used to be wildly passionate?
Endlessly energetic in the pursuit of truth, knowledge, and the right point of view?
When did all this become something I no longer cared about?

A friend (thank you, Alexander) gave me a new word this week:MY-nification is the process of associating everything in the world with a central point called 'I'. It all belongs to a me. It's a point of view. Unique to a me.
Currently, nothing belongs to a me.
Although there are a couple of dogs and a nice man who seem to be around a lot of the time :-)
This is ridiculous.
Surely a rational, grown, and educated human can hold an opinion?
Be described by an adherence to morals, principles, and ideas?
Have a nice spiritual programme and grow a little teary describing it's benefits?
OK, guilty on the last bit. This not caring IS the benefit.

No one really notices that I don't care. They still get food and conversation and hugs and I show up for the social conventions dressed like a nice, rational, grown-up human.
They may not notice that my requirement that they care about what I care about, is no longer in effect.
They may never know how little it concerns me that they are how they are.
Caring is a very small word. I'm both indifferent to you and enchanted by you. Is there a word for that?

Ilona and Elena, who started the kind, gentle, self-killing machine that is Liberation Unleashed, have put together a book of their work with people who saw through the illusion of a separate self.

Below is the link to a free download, professionally put together by talented volunteers. All work on this book was done over the internet by a free-form working collective of people in many different countries, without a squawk of egoic "me".

If you EVER tried to get a project off the ground in the workplace, you will know why they call in facilitators and mediators and fixers. I was one of those fixers, so please understand, this is odd.

I always wanted a spirituality that worked when I got up off the cushion.
This is very portable. Enjoy!

In other news, life is good.
Lots of ideas and bits of protective story are falling off.
Including the ones about awakening and enlightenment.
Both oversold, and in reality, literally beyond expectation.
Without an idea to hold the world in a fixed place, this is a constant surprise.
It's like being a kid again :-)
